Explain the ways in which adults can effectively support and extend the speech, language and communication development of children during the early years
Babies from birth use communication in body language or sounds with us and from this we must acknowledge them and look to support them to the next level of development.
There are many ways in which we can support and extend speech, language and communication development in the early years.
WORDS AND LEVELS OF LANGUAGE:
When we first are introduced to a child, we have to assess them to understand which level of language we are going to use with them, we would not say to a 6 month old baby, 'Hello, how are you, what have you been doing today, what would you like for dinner etc'. We must use lots of facial expressions and soften our tone of voice and use shorter sentences, we tend to speak slower as well so we say 'Hellloooo' with a big smile on our face when speaking to a baby. If we are showing a baby something when we are speaking to them we should point also to help them understand what we are saying to them.
RHETORICAL QUESTIONS:
Rhetorical questions are not real questions as the person asking the question as such, also answer it, so we might say to a baby 'would you like your nap now, oh yes you would, you look very tired' or 'you would like your bottle of milk now, wouldn't you'. It allows us to speak and communicate with a baby or toddler who will not answer our questions but it is a way of us using speech, language and communication on a daily basis, helping to be part of the day and feel involved. Using eye contact and smiling the response it usually positive and received back with a smile or babble.
CLOSED QUESTIONS:
Closed questions should not be used all the time, only when a yes or no answer is needed, we must ensure we still use all others areas through out the day, we can use a closed questions like 'have you finished your lunch' 'do you need help with
